Zacchaeus

Bible 1Zacchaeus had lots of money but he was not a nice man. His job was to collect and change money but he took too much. Bible 2When he took money from people he took some money for himself. He was not kind. Nobody liked Zacchaeus. Bible 3When Jesus was coming to town, everyone went to see Him. Zacchaeus was very small. No one would let him see Jesus.

Bible 4He quickly ran ahead and climbed up a tree. He waited for Jesus to go past. Now he could see Jesus. Bible 5Jesus stopped under the tree He looked up. ‘Zacchaeus come down,’ said Jesus, ‘I am coming to your house today.’

Bible 6People said, ‘Doesn’t Jesus know that Zacchaeus is a bad man?’ ‘Do what is good and right, Zacchaeus,’ Jesus said. Zacchaeus listened. Bible 7He was sorry he had taken people’s money. He paid it all back. ‘I love Jesus,’ said Zacchaeus. ‘Now I will do what is good and right.’
